again, we're back where we came in. My original point is that the use of
workspaces in Shell is not particularly compelling or, to use the
buzzword of a few years ago, emergent.

The last couple of exchanges, I think we were saying that this stuff has become more compelling due to the fact that phones have started using it.  Shell isn't that much different from them.  The new palm os does something similar to work spaces if I recall. 

I will concede that there is an element of risk in this particular design.   But let's see how it plays out.  We aren't at the final product stage yet.  It will take a number of cycles to shake things out I think.
